    Was taking my Girlfriend out for a Birthday dinner, Something made me change my mind and go to Old Chicago, which i haven't eaten at in forever, and the first thing i noticed when i pulled up was a red Comet. Not sure what year, not real familiar with them but i'm sure you guys can figure that out. I'm sure the girlfriend got slightly impatient as i walked around looking at it for 10 mins and taking pictures....And then took another picture as we were leaving to go home.

    I agree, Was kinda shocked that he left all the windows rolled down in a place like that, and it was sitting there well over an hour while we ate but it is his car. Not a huge fan of 4-doors, but still a beautiful car.

    Recently I had been driving the 75 I gave my son. I would leave the windows down also.. I wasn't too far though and not where I wouldn't see it for an hour lol. People seem to enjoy looking inside and careful not to touch.

    I don't think that's a 75 front bumper.

    Haha, yeah very true, I supposed i'd leave mine down if i could see it, Not sure how he would see it from where he was parked unless he was inside the bank for that long though, the restaurant was a fair walk away with no windows on that side. And i, along with the other people, definitely enjoyed and looked inside, being careful not to touch. Simply because i know how annoying it is when people run fingers across my car.
